I hope I get some responses this time....I can only eat a small amount and will probably just eat appetizer or soup.going to paris will it be a problem for the waiters? how to handle this? Also are there rental or available wheelchairs in the D'orsay and louvre??

I'm not sure what you mean by "I hope I get some responses this time" - - I found three previous questions that you asked, and all had some answers - - one you had even seen, as indicated by your re-posting. You are aware, I trust, that you can find all your old posts by clicking on your own name?

There will be no problem for the waiters with what you order, nor what portion of it that you eat.

From the official website of Musee d'Orsay - - http://www.musee-orsay.fr (click on English, click on practical information).

Disabled Visitors

Visitors with Reduced Mobility
Wheelchairs and pushchairs can be borrowed from the individuals' cloakroom (passport or driving licence requested as a guarantee of return). Suggested itineraries are available at the visitor services desk. Guided tours are available for up to 8 people in wheelchairs.

Probably similar info for the Louvre.

Best wishes,

Both the Louvre and Orsay have wheelchairs available.

As for only ordering some soup or appetizer -- I suggest you stick to cafes or something like that, where you can order whatever you wish, from only a drink to a full dinner. A regular restaurant is not going to want a diner who does not eat a full dinner taking up a table, and if you get seated at a busy restaurant for dinner, they hand you the carte, and you say you don't want dinner, only soup -- well, I wouldn't do that. In heavy tourist areas, some places will even have signs or notes on the menu about that (ie, "no salads as meals&quot. Just stick to more casual places. You could probably do that in small bistros at certain times, also, depending how busy they are.

sorry a newbie... I didnt get a response for a while and didnt know about clicking your own name.. thanks....I couldnt seem to get that info( about the wheelchairs) from the site either but again thank you!!

I've traveled with people who have serious food allergies and need to make sure the waiters understand their requests. They take an index card sized note with their situation explained in correct translation.

People will probably be happy to take care of you if they understand your situation. They'll know that you're not just being picky or cheap or insulting the cuisine.

Well, I assume you mean that you've had gastric bypass or a banding procedure done. I agree with the previous posters about more casual places being amenable to serving light meals. In addition, you may want to bring an information card about things that you have to avoid-like no sugar secondary to dumping syndrome-so that waiters may be able to assist you in making good choices on the menu. Don't forget though, that it is your vacation; don't let anybody's attitude towards what you order bother you. Enjoy Paris!

Dón't go to a fine restaurant and ask for special favors. At a bistro or brasserie or small restaurant explain that you are on a "régime" and can't eat more than a soup or appetizer.

Do not expect superlative, hover-over-you service in Paris. You will seem to be an anomaly, and Parisian waiters just aren't of the kill-you-with-kindness persuasion to begin with. They will respect your wishes but may seem to be curious at the same time.
